After most of the world defended Cuba at the United Nations today, Cuban Foreign Minister @BrunoRguezP got the last word, and he brought the heat.

I covered today's debate about the U.S.'s oppressive sanctions against Cuba at the @UN with a ton of video.

In the face of the U.S.-imposed oil blockade, Cuba is going green. First, people started buying electric tricycles. But then they faced another problem — no way to charge them as blackouts last 20+ hours a day. Now, drivers are installing solar panels on top of their tricycles.

Cuba is having its Deng moment. From the floor of the National Assembly:

"Socialism is not egalitarian poverty. It is the intelligent management of wealth to eliminate poverty.

Socialism is not the absence of a market. It is a market subordinated to socialist planning and the collective interest."

[Belly of the Beast @bellybeastcuba]

Norma Goicochea, President of the Cuban United Nations Association, warned about the human consequences of further hostility from Washington. “Cubans have the right to live in peace.”

They say Cuban Americans want a war on Cuba. In their own words, Cuban Americans across the country are saying no to sanctions and war and yes to engagement. #NoWarOnCuba #LetCubaLive

Fixed it for you:

For decades, Cuba has represented a beacon of hope for the people oppressed by U.S. imperialism.

The U.S. has been trying to strangle the Cuban economy to the extreme, without any goal achieved, therefore, the need for another round of sanctions.

The Trump administration says that Cuba poses a national security threat to the most powerful country in the world. We examine the six claims used to justify this narrative — and why they fall apart under scrutiny.

“We are going to defeat the project of death.”

Students from the National University of Colombia on Wednesday rallied behind leftist candidate Iván Cepeda of the Historical Pact coalition.

Supporters reject his Trump-backed opponent Abelardo de la Espriella’s far-right policies — including the building of mega prisons — stating, “We cannot go back to when young people were murdered and disappeared.”

The two candidates face off again in a run-off election June 21.

Belly of the Beast’s Liz Oliva Fernández joined @AJEnglish’s The Listening Post (@ajlisteningpost) to discuss media coverage of Cuba and why independent reporting on the ground matters.

Miami is not a monolith. Gladys Canizares left #Cuba alone at 15, sent to the U.S. through Operation Pedro Pan. Years later in Miami, she became an organizer in the hardline Cuban American lobby. Today, she's one of the loudest voices to end the embargo she once defended.

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

Fox News reported that @codepink co-founder @medeabenjamin and Twitch streamer Hasan Piker were recently subpoenaed for their Cuba solidarity work.

But Benjamin says she never received an official subpoena.

She refuses to be intimidated by Trump’s attacks, stating, “We have to use this as another reason we’re so angry at the US government and redouble our efforts.”

Raul Castro: "We were the ones dying -- and somehow, WE'RE the terrorists."

[teleSUR English @telesurenglish]

The Hero of the Republic of #Cuba , Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo also referred to the double-standard policy that the #UnitedStates has implemented over the years as a mechanism to pressure Cuba and to hide the real political objectives that the U.S. pursues three decades after Brothers To The Rescue.
